Extract from A Midsummer Night's Dream
OBERON: I wonder if they love me, or love not me. Do they not hear my brawl? Then I am not love. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste; And therefore is Love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguiled. As waggish boys in game themselves forswear, So the boy love self-ward and leave the girl to her loss. For I to-morrow night will force her hand; And, in the wood, where I did meet her once, Upon the middle of the ground, with her I will unhand her, and, tenderly, give her the token.
